In just half an hour, everyone rode Jin Yupeng to Tianxuan City, which was more than five hundred miles away.
However, in order to avoid attracting the attention of the disciple, Wei Lianyi specifically asked the animal trainer to land the golden feather peng a few miles away from Tianxuan City, and then asked everyone to dress up in disguise before rushing to Tianxuan City. go.
After entering Tianxuan City, Wei Lianyi took Su Yu and the others to the Prefect's Mansion, while the others temporarily settled in the inn.
When we arrived at the prefect's mansion, the living room was already filled with tears.
Tianxuan, Tianshu, and Tianji are close neighbors, so when the news of the kidnapping of the governors of the three cities came out, the families and wives of the three governors were already discussing countermeasures in Fu Yongpei's mansion in Tianxuan City.
"Master Wei, your subordinate He Liangjian is the second guard of Tianxuan City."
The person who greeted and entertained Wei Lianyi and the four others was He Liangjian, the second in command of Tianxuan City.
Wei Lianyi nodded, and then said: "Tell me the specific situation."
"yes."
He Liangjian then recounted the entire process of the capture of the three governors.
The processes he mentioned were naturally learned from the mouths of these prefect wives.
Then he glanced at the three official wives of the prefects who were standing aside and wiping away tears, and then couldn't help but said: "Master Wei, according to what the wives of the three prefects said, if possible, in order to ensure the safety of the three adults, they I even hope that I can collect 15 million yuan crystals and have them taken to Longxuling to redeem the lives of the three adults."
Hearing He Liangjian's words, Su Yu and Liang Yuxuan couldn't help but twitch their mouths.
According to the salary ratio of officials in the Wei Dynasty, the monthly salary of a eunuch was only a dozen or twenty taels.
But now He Liangjian said that the wives of these three prefects said they could collect 15 million yuan crystals. So where did these yuan crystals come from?
"Are the three guys I kidnapped really just three big fishes?"
Su Yu couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Hearing He Liangjian's words, Wei Lianyi's pretty face suddenly sank.
She herself is a person who can't get rid of the sand in her eyes.
In addition, her surname is Wei, and the wives of the three prefects were able to give five million Yuan Crystals each to redeem the lives of your lords. It can be seen that during the period when they took office as prefects, they did not stop plundering the people.
The three wives of the prefect wanted to use money to redeem their masters, so they naturally understood that without their masters as a big tree, the money they had would sooner or later end up in other people's pockets.
"That's fine."
Wei Lianyi nodded, and then said: "Then let them prepare all the money, and I will take the fifteen million yuan crystal to talk to that person."
Since it was Yuan Jing that was delivered to my door, it was natural that I didn’t want it in vain.
With these fifteen million yuan crystals, no one will be able to compete with him at the auction in half a month.
With this move, the Wei Dynasty could not help but eliminate three corrupt officials, and also received 15 million yuan crystals to bid for the Dingyan Pill. It was really killing two birds with one stone!
She originally wanted to try to save the three prefects, but now it seems that she can have no scruples. There is no need to save these three guys, and she can just let the people below, including the three prefects and that guy, go with them. Shoot!
"These three prefect wives may not have thought that they would rather spend five million yuan to redeem their master, but they would end up harming him in vain."
Su Yu and Liang Yuxuan looked at each other and shook their heads secretly.
In front of Wei Lianyi, they said that each of them could produce five million yuan crystals. So there was no need to explain where the yuan crystals came from. Anyone with a discerning eye could know its origin.
With Wei Lianyi's temperament, even if he had thought about saving the three prefects before, he probably wouldn't be too lazy to do so now.
When the three wives of the eunuch presented the 15 million yuan crystals, Liang Yuxuan and the others all looked straight.
Yuanjing includes all four types of Yuanjing: low, medium, high, and top quality. Yuanjing is placed in wooden boxes and stacked in the yard, forming several hills.
Wei Lianyi looked at the piled hills, her pretty face gloomy at the same time, and then she put the wooden boxes containing Yuan Jing into her space ring.
Liang Yuxuan and the others watched eagerly, with mixed emotions in their hearts.
From this mission, Wei Lianyi made a lot of money.
They naturally understood that with Wei Lianyi's temperament, the kidnappers would probably have no chance to see this Yuan Jing.
Maybe those three prefects will never have the chance to come back alive to report their safety.
After Wei Lianyi put all the boxes containing Yuan Jing into the space ring, he then said calmly: "Master He, I will accept these Yuan Jing."
Su Yu and the others looked strange. Wei Lianyi was really making easy money with these fifteen million yuan crystals.
It's just a pity that I can't get a hair from it
He Liangjian's eyes flashed slightly, and he said with a sneer: "The three prefects, please leave it to Master Wei."
As a veteran in the officialdom, how could he still be ignorant if the three prefects' wives didn't understand the benefits of these fifteen million yuan crystals?
Those 15 million yuan crystals will not be money to redeem the lives of the three prefects, but will become a talisman for the three prefects to die.
However, he did not stop the three wives of the prefect, which was naturally due to his considerations.
If these three prefects cannot come back, then can't I take a step forward in my second-in-command position?
To him, being promoted to the post of prefect without doing anything was like pie in the sky.
"I'm going to send you off to you. As for the three adults, I'll leave it to you."
He Liangjian sent Wei Lianyi and the five of them outside the prefect's mansion and said with a smile.
Su Yu and the others couldn't help but look at this guy deeply.
This guy is probably hoping that the three prefects will not come back, right?
As long as the three governors cannot come back, then their wives will naturally be taken care of by me.
In this mission, it seemed that except for the three prefects, everyone else got a bargain.
It really is in response to a sentence, when the whale falls, all things come to life.
But it's hard for them to say anything. If the three prefects are to blame, they should blame their wives for the amazing assist.
In front of Wei Lianyi, if you want to give her money to redeem someone, isn't this like a meat bun beating a dog and never coming back?
Wei Lianyi ignored him and just led Su Yu and the four of them towards the inn where they were staying with a cold face.
The three prefects actually all have wealth worth millions of yuan crystals, and these are just three prefects in charge of a city.
Looking at the entire nine states of the Wei Dynasty, there are hundreds of prefects.
Even if half of the prefects were the same as Fu Yongpei and the other three, what kind of wealth would that be?
Where did their money come from?
Wei Lianyi couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in her heart. It turned out that Wei's unknown place actually hid a dark side that shocked her.
"One day, I will restore peace to the Wei Dynasty."
Wei Lianyi glanced at the blue sky and murmured in her heart.
Back at the inn, Wei Lianyi led Su Yu and the others into the box, and then took out the terrain branch of Longxuling to arrange tasks.
Longxuling is located at the intersection of Tianxuan, Tianshu and Tianji cities.
If you look down from the sky, the mountains behind Longxuling are rugged and winding, with lush vegetation, like a green dragon dormant on the ground.
Longxuling is like the two beards of this green dragon. It is a good place for people in the three cities to go for an outing.
Under Longxu Ridge, there is an abyss, and below it is a surging river rushing past.
"Two hours later, everyone went to Longxuling with dry food to ambush."
"Su Yu, Liang Yuxuan, you two lead your respective subordinates to ambush in the mountain range east of Longxuling!"
"He Bohong, Sun Xicui, you two will lead your respective subordinates to ambush in the mountains to the west of Longxuling!"
"If you see the kidnapper coming to Longxuling with Fu Yongpei and the others, I will deal with him first. Then you listen to my order and immediately pull the trigger of the crossbow to kill him, life or death!"
Because Longxuling is two mountains, it is not yet known which side the kidnappers will take the three prefects to. The best result is naturally to ambush people on both mountains.
Wei Lianyi will come forward to negotiate with the other party to delay time and give the people below some time to prepare.
"Sir, are those three prefects also within our attack range?"
He Bohong looked a little worried and couldn't help but asked tentatively.
"yes."
Liang Yuxuan couldn't help but echoed: "Sir, as they are the governors of Tianxuan, Tianshu and Tianji cities, if they die in Longxuling, I am afraid it will cause panic in other places."
Wei Lianyi glanced at the four of them, and then said calmly: "Zhenwu Division cannot encourage the kidnappers. If we pay the ransom this time, there will be countless kidnapping cases across Kyushu!"
"In order to avoid this situation, the three prefects died a worthy death!"
"Even if we save them, their corruption and bribery of Yuan Jing will still end up being executed!"
"Now they can die with a good reputation, and their families can live a well-fed life. They deserve to die without regrets."
Listening to Wei Lianyi's words, the four of them couldn't help but shake their heads.
Wei Lianyi's words almost made the three prefects half step into the gate of hell.
"This bitch is really ruthless, killing the hostages and kidnappers together."
Su Yu cursed in his heart.
At the same time, he was also thinking about how to make this self-directed and self-acted kidnapping case develop in the direction he planned.
As for the life and death of the three governors, even Wei Lianyi didn't care, and he naturally didn't care even more.
These three guys have been plundering people's wealth and wealth for many years, and they have enjoyed it for so many years. After their death, their wives and children can continue to live a good life. This is Wei Lianyi's extrajudicial mercy.
According to the laws of the Wei Dynasty, the family members of the three prefects will also suffer from sitting together.
Then Wei Lianyi arranged the specific details of the ambush. Su Yu and the other four passed down the contents of the mission, and then led their respective cavalry to Longxuling for the ambush.
On the Longxul Ridge to the east, Su Yu, Liang Yuxuan and a group of horsemen used vegetation to cover their figures. If you didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to find their traces.
This squatting lasted for several hours. As the sun went down, Liang Yuxuan asked boredly: "Brother Su, do you think that guy knows that we have secretly come here to ambush him?"
Not only did he know it, he was also ambush along with him.
Su Yu cursed in his heart, and then said: "Brother Liang, you ask me about this, who should I ask?"
"That's right."
Liang Yuxuan nodded, then thought of the 15 million yuan crystals collected by Wei Lianyi, and couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, we have made a profit this time."
Su Yu chuckled and said, "Brother Liang, don't be discouraged. We made a lot of money during our last trip to the Soul-Destroying Forest."
"This time, just think of it as going out for a ride with Mr. Wei."
Liang Yuxuan nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, staying in Tai'an City is boring anyway, so it's better to come out and take a breath."
"By the way, Brother Su, do you think that if we are kidnapped by kidnappers one day, will Mr. Wei pay a ransom for us?"
Su Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, and then said with a smile: "I don't know if Mr. Wei will pay us a ransom, but I think Mr. Wei will ask the people below to remember to aim their bows and crossbows, so that it won't be so painful for us to leave."
Liang Yuxuan: "."
Ma Zai, his subordinate, listened to the conversation between the two and resisted the urge to laugh.
After a while, Liang Yuxuan said again: "I just don't know where the kidnapper came from. He dared to kidnap an official of the imperial court and ask for a ransom. However, he met Mr. Wei who refused to take hard and soft measures. Alas, maybe they themselves didn't think of it. After a lifetime of corruption and bribery, I will eventually end up like this."
"yes."
Su Yu smiled and sighed: "It is estimated that the kidnapper secretly investigated that these three guys have been plundering people's wealth, and then thought of venting a bad breath on these people, so they can be considered worthy of death."
Liang Yuxuan then sighed: "Brother Su, I don't know if you have noticed. When I was in the prefect's mansion, I noticed that there was a very beautiful lady. If something unexpected happened to these three prefects, Liang should pay a share. "Strength will do"
Su Yu: "."
I'll take care of you as a concubine, so don't worry about it.
This guy really achieves something every time he goes on a mission, I admire him!
Su Yu was full of curses.
The two of them chatted like this, and the time waiting for the early morning didn't seem boring and long.
As for Ma Zai below, listening to the whispers of the two opened the door to a new world.
City people really know how to play
While chatting with Liang Yuxuan, Su Yu was naturally not idle either.
On the way to set up the ambush with Ma Zai, he and Liang Yuxuan had already used the time in the latrine to turn the man who participated in the ambush into his own clone.
As for his true self, he is already dormant in the dark, responsible for controlling the two clones to do different things.
At first, they tied up three prefects, just to use them to make things worse.
Based on his understanding of Wei Lianyi, Wei Lianyi would definitely bring people out to ambush, and he would also bring bows and crossbows.
At that time, he can use the crossbow to kill the clone.
In this way, Wei Lianyi will no longer have any doubts about him.
With the death of the clone, the entanglement between him and Wei Lianyi will also come to an end for the time being.
At least in the future, if he doesn't use the Phoenix Dance Bracelet to appear in public, Wei Lianyi will not think that he is not dead yet.
As the three prefects became corrupt and bribed, and after Wei Lianyi ordered the three guys to be shot together, Su Yu suddenly thought of a better way.
At present, everything is developing towards his predetermined plan.
The next thing to do is to wait for the early morning.
When early morning came, the entire Longxuling seemed extremely silent.
Suddenly, with a sound breaking through the air, Su Yu's clone brought the three prefects who were tied up by Wuhua Da to the Longxuling in the east.
Su Yu's appearance made everyone responsible for the ambush in the east get nervous.
"It's him."
The moment he saw Su Yu's clone appeared, Liang Yuxuan's face looked extremely shocked.
Although he did not recognize Su Yu's clone, the dragon wings behind the clone were extremely eye-catching under the moonlight.
If it hadn't been for the appearance of this guy in Longyang City, the team that might have gone to investigate the murder of Zhen Yin's family would have been left in Yanzhou by King Wu.
Later, Lu Ze successfully escaped because of the guy in front of him.
Liang Yuxuan would never have thought that the person who kidnapped the three prefects would be the guy who had resolved their predicament in Yanzhou.
Su Yu raised his eyebrows, and then asked knowingly: "Brother Liang, do you know this guy?"
"Brother Su, do you still remember the case of King Wu's rebellion?"
Liang Yuxuan said: "If I'm not mistaken, this guy is the one who killed Wei Yan and caused King Wu Wei Qing to go crazy."
"Also, the last time we were in Tai'an City, Lu Ze, your subordinate, Brother Su, was rescued by this person."
After hearing Liang Yuxuan's explanation, Su Yu pretended to be clear and said: "It turns out it's him."
Liang Yuxuan frowned and said: "This is a bit tricky. If it weren't for this guy, all of us would have been left in Longyang City."
"Our promotion to Qianhu is entirely dependent on this guy in front of us."
"Now that he has kidnapped three prefects, we have to kill him again. It feels like repaying kindness with hatred."
Su Yusheng smiled and said: "When the time comes, shall we raise the crossbow a little further?"
Liang Yuxuan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Let's forget it. I understand this guy. Back then, this guy was able to escape safely under King Wu's full blow. Think about it, we have dozens of crossbows and we can't do anything about it." What a threat he poses.”
"When the time comes, we will just follow Master Wei's orders. Whenever she asks us to attack, we will attack at that time."
Su Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Understood."
Under the gestures of the two men, his subordinate Ma Zai loaded the crossbow and aimed it at Su Yu's clone not far away. With just one command, more than twenty crossbows would lock Su Yu's escape directions in the field. .
After a while, Wei Lianyi rushed over quickly.
When Wei Lianyi stood still in front of Su Yu, Su Yu's eyes flashed and he chuckled: "Ha, it turns out we are old acquaintances."
Then he glanced at the three tied eunuchs and said calmly: "Have you brought the fifteen million yuan crystals I want?"
Wei Lianyi looked at him with cold eyes, and then said: "As long as we pay 15 million yuan crystals, you will let them go?"
"certainly!"
Su Yu nodded and said with a smile: "What's the point of taking their lives? I'm just asking for money on this trip!"
"Well!"
Wei Lianyi nodded, the space ring in her hand flashed with light, and then she placed several wooden boxes on the ground.
"There are a total of fifteen million yuan crystals here, please count them."
Wei Lianyi glanced at Su Yu who was standing not far away and said calmly.
Su Yu chuckled lightly, and then walked forward without thinking there was an ambush.
"boom!"
Su Yu opened the first wooden box in front of him. There was no Yuan Jing in it, but several huge stones were placed there.
His expression suddenly darkened, then he looked at Wei Lianyi and said in a deep voice: "It seems that Master Wei doesn't care about the lives of the three prefects."
"snort!"
Wei Lianyi snorted coldly and said coldly: "Three corrupt officials who are only in office and only want to plunder people's wealth and wealth. If they can fish you out, they can be considered to have put their money to good use."
As soon as she finished speaking, a huge grimace that was more than ten feet tall appeared above her head.
"Fire the arrow!"
Wei Lianyi suddenly let out a sharp shout.
"Roar!"
The next moment, this huge grimace suddenly opened its mouth, and then let out a deafening roar towards Su Yu.
There was a distance of several feet between the two of them. Under the huge roar of this huge ghost face, Su Yu felt as if a big bell was being struck by a giant hammer in his mind.
His whole body was stunned on the spot, with blood flowing out of his seven orifices.
In addition, before the ghost face roared, Wei Lianyi had already ordered the people below to shoot arrows.
At this moment, Su Yu was undoubtedly a target, and he could only let those crossbow arrows shoot at him.
When Su Yu forcibly regained consciousness and took control of his body, more than twenty crossbow arrows were fired at him.
In his haste, Su Yu could only dodge the crossbow arrows that hit his face and heart, and then let other crossbow arrows pierce his body one by one.
"Puff puff!"
The crossbow arrows brought up the roaring wind, pierced Su Yu's body, and then penetrated through one by one, causing a series of blood lines.
Severe pain suddenly hit his whole body, even if it was a clone, Su Yu couldn't help but frown in pain at this moment.
The three prefects who were kidnapped by him did not even have a chance to call out, and were directly taken away by a wave of crossbow arrows.
"This sonic martial art, and my Red Eyed Dragon Halberd, should be considered as magic damage."
Su Yu cursed in his heart.
Seeing that his plan was successful, Wei Lianyi was very happy.
She turned her right hand and found a sharp sword in her hand. She stepped forward and stabbed Su Yu's chest.
"puff!"
Su Yu did not dodge, grinned at her, and let Wei Lianyi stab his chest with a sharp sword, and then passed through him.
This scene made Liang Yuxuan's eyes widen.
He didn't expect that that guy could take all Wei Qing's attacks, but Wei Lianyi could succeed so easily?
Looking at the sword blade that didn't reach the hilt, Wei Lianyi couldn't help but be stunned. She didn't seem to have thought that her ambush plan would be realized so easily.
Why didn't he hide? !
He can obviously hide!
The long-cherished wish of several months had come true, but Wei Lianyi was not at all happy.
She said in a hoarse voice: "Why don't you hide?!"
At this moment, the distance between the two of them was only a punch's width.
Wei Lianyi could even smell the strong smell of blood on the other party.
Su Yu chuckled, then held her in his arms with his blood-stained right hand, and said slowly: "I thought you wouldn't kill me! Unfortunately, I lost the bet."
Hearing Su Yu's words, Wei Lianyi's heart skipped a beat.
What does he mean by this?
Could it be that he has been secretly protecting himself?
Whether it was King Wu of Longyang City plotting rebellion, or the red-bellied python transforming into a dragon in the Broken Soul Forest, was he secretly protecting himself?
But why is all this happening?
"Ahem."
Su Yu coughed up a mouthful of blood, then smiled and said, "Do you know why I kidnapped the three of them?"
"Because I know that they are corrupt officials. I asked them to pay a ransom of 15 million Yuan Jing because I wanted to buy the Dingyan Pill for you!"
Hearing Su Yu's words, Wei Lianyi's heart trembled again.
It turns out that he did all this just to use these fifteen million yuan crystals to bid for the Dingyan Pill to give to himself?
Su Yu could clearly detect that Wei Lianyi's mood was ups and downs.
"Ahem."
Su Yu coughed up a mouthful of blood again, and then said with a wry smile: "Now it seems that I am not worthy."
"Take care of yourself from now on, because I can no longer be by your side to protect you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yu forcibly took a step back, pulled the sharp sword in Wei Lianyi's hand from his body, and then staggered towards the cliff step by step.
Wei Lianyi looked at Su Yu's back as he staggered away with a complicated face. His eyes gradually turned red, and mist began to accumulate in his eye sockets.
She wanted to kill the guy in front of her countless times, but now she really saw that this guy was about to die in her hands, and his words before his death undoubtedly made her unable to tell whether she was doing the right thing or not. .
All the interactions with this guy came to mind one by one at this moment.
If Longyang City and his party hadn't stepped in to turn the tide, Yanzhou might have been split by King Wu.
If he hadn't helped her in the Broken Soul Forest, she might have died in the hands of the red-bellied brocade python that turned into a dragon.
It can even be said that the episode that happened later was also led by her.
Although her body was out of control because of her confusion and passion, she was still conscious.
In other words, without this guy in front of her, her group in the Soul-Destroying Forest might have died at the hands of the red-bellied brocade python.
The evil he had done to himself and the good he had done to himself all seemed to cancel out.
Now I heard him say that he kidnapped three prefects just to get ransom to bid for Dingyan Pill and give it to him.
The softest place in her heart seemed to be touched at this moment.
"Hmph, I think this girl has mixed feelings at the moment, right?"
Su Yu couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
This plan was something he came up with on the spur of the moment. It focused on burning the heart with the scorching sun and buying a seed of guilt in Wei Lianyi's heart.
Feeling that the end of the clone was approaching, Su Yu took another step forward and fell directly off the cliff into the surging river below.
This is why he chose Longxuling.
The clone must suffer fatal injuries, move Wei Lianyi with words before dying, and then fall off the cliff to destroy the body.
The whole plan was seamless!
In this way, I, Su Yu, naturally completely cleared Wei Lianyi's suspicion.
"call"
Su Yu, who was controlling the clone in the distance, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and murmured in a low voice: "The feeling of being shot through by a crossbow is really uncomfortable."
"But in this case, Wei Lianyi will no longer suspect me, right?"
After solving this matter, Su Yu couldn't help but sigh.
If he hadn't been alert and hunted Cai Jinhui this time, his identity would have been definitely exposed.
And this small mistake required him to rack his brains to correct it.
But then I thought about it. With the speed of his promotion, it was probably only a matter of time before Wei Lianyi started to doubt him.
I can take this opportunity to completely clear myself of the suspicion of myself.
"grown ups."
Su Yu and Liang Yuxuan came forward with Ma Zai.
In order to prevent his gaffe from being discovered, Wei Lianyi turned his back and said calmly: "The kidnapper has been executed. Sun Xicui and He Bohong will come over later. The four of you will send people down the cliff to search for his body. Be sure to Find his body!"
Since the other party is dead, the phoenix dance bracelet in the other party's hand must not be lost. She has to find a way to take it back.
At that time, my mind went blank. Looking back now, how could I watch the other person jump off the cliff?
"yes!"
Su Yu and Liang Yuxuan responded in unison.
Wei Lianyi continued: "As for the death of the three prefects, we must strictly keep our mouths shut and not let a word be leaked about this matter."
"yes!"
The two responded again.
"Okay, that's all I have to say, you go down and do your work."
Wei Lianyi waved his hand, his figure swept out, and disappeared under the night in a few steps.
Looking at Wei Lianyi's retreating figure, Liang Yuxuan sighed softly: "I never expected that that person would actually die in Master Wei's hands. It's such a pity."
Su Yu chuckled and said, "Isn't it true to rob the imperial official and demand a huge ransom?"
"Besides, now that the three prefects are dead, wouldn't Brother Liang be able to choose the husbands and wives of the three prefects to take care of them?"
Hearing Su Yu's words, Liang Yuxuan's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he nodded repeatedly: "What Brother Su said is absolutely true. It is not a pity to die for these three corrupt officials!"
When Sun Xicui and He Bohong arrived, Liang Yuxuan told them roughly what happened.
Then the four of them ordered their men to go down the cliff to search, while they went back to the inn to rest. The men searched from early morning until dawn, but found no trace.
When riding Jin Yupeng back, Su Yu could clearly notice that Wei Lianyi was a little absent-minded, and his expression seemed a little dazed, as if he was lost.
Seeing this scene, Su Yu couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
It is estimated that Wei Lianyi is doubting life at this moment.
Is it right or wrong for her to kill the man who saved her from fire and water many times?
But all of this was within Su Yu's plan.
Finally, Wei Lianyi's attention was diverted from him.
